CapCo’s plans for the Pillar Hall refurbishment, part of a larger scheme at Olympia, have been approved.
The plans are part of a £20m extension and rework of the Olympia exhibition centreaimed at making it suitable for exhibitions currently running at Earls Court, which will need a new home when that centre is pulled down after the London Olympics. The larger Olympia plans were approved earlier in the year.
The Pillar Hall plans involve refurbishing it as a restaurant, and also involve some work on the listed facade of the neighbouring Grand Hall.
